Just received it, thanks!!! hehe

As far as I know there are no forks, the p2pools I have tested so far have the simple frontend a little bit modified and thats all. I think with a little bit of time the frontend can be improved, first of all the memory problem should be a priority, then I would suggest some kind of stats or even a login so the people can see the stats of their minner, one of the problems of a p2pool node is that they dont give away hashrates or any kind of information, i have been surfing the logs of p2pool for a while and I dont think it will be difficult to have a couple of scripts ready to get some information.

Im not really and expert in php so I can't be of much help over there but if you need it I can work with you on the scripts, programming is one of my hobbies so I quite do it for fun hehe

Also, once the pool is ready I will recommend some promotion and actually to think about something different to offer so people choose your pool over the other ones, remenber that right now p2pool is not the best option for people with low hashrates like me (still saving bitcoins to try to get my hands in an asic hehe) one idea could be to have a small percent of the overall winning of the pool per week put on a wallet and once a week or after reaching an specific amount do a lottery or something like that, between the people who used the pool, it could be appealing and shouldn't be difficult to set up.
